More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A late-afternoon sun hits Jacqueline’s garden and the citrus leaves glint as you step through a quiet Canoga Park residential street. The scent of toasted spices and baking dough leads you to a modest ranch-style house where a small table is set for a four-course meal. The setting feels like an invitation into a family kitchen rather than a restaurant dining room — animated conversation, music, and the clink of glassware are part of the evening.
